CHIWID, for half a century she, a Tsilhqot woman, lived out in the forests, lakes and bush of the west Chilcotin plateau, the way that the old people lived, moving her solitary camp with the seasons. Said to have special spiritual powers, she kept to herself and chose to live outdoors year round.
Here is the story of Chiwid, told in the vibrant voices of Chilcotin oldtimers, both native and non native. An almost unbelievable story of a remarkable woman. CHIWID is also a vivid portrait of the Chilcotin during a time of great change.
